Solution

The correct option is C
large intestine

The large intestine is the last part of the digestive system in vertebrates. The large intestine consists of the caecum, vermiform appendix, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid or pelvic colon and rectum. Water is absorbed here and the remaining waste material is stored as faeces before being removed by egestion or defecation.
